Russia attacks Poland September 17, 1939

Russia attacks Poland on this day, September 17th, 1939. One half of the country is seized by Nazi's who invaded earlier and now from the cowardly, shadows of the eastern dark comes the big surprise. The country of Poland was ripped apart by these two evils for the next 50 years, with border changes, lost territories, destruction, death, displacement and communism. What the Nazi's didn't destroy, communism crippled. But 50 years later the Polish people in Solidarity regained their freedom and broke the yoke of communism in their country.
